Ancestral churches in Toro, plus more

As a follow up to my previous posting about Toro -- where the Trascasas and Marzo families lived, I wanted to post a street grid to show the churches and where our family lived.  This street grid (plano) was recently emailed to me from the tourist office in Toro and it's been a 'walk in their shoes' looking for the churches listed in the marriage document for Manuel Trascasas Alonso and Manuela Marzo Garcia as well as the birth document for their daughter, Jacinta Modesta (sister to Eustoquia Rita Trascasas Marzo, my bisabuela/great grandmother).

1.  Iglesia de Santo Tomas Cantuariense is located at #4 on the map.  This is where Manuela Trascasas and Manuela Marzo were married.

2.  Iglesia de San Sebastian de los Caballeros is located at #8 on the map.  This is where Manuela Marzo Garcia worshiped based on the marriage document.

3.  The home of Manuela's parents,  Gregorio Marzo and Teresa Garcia, lived on Calle San Juan.  You will see that street just to the left of #20 on the map.

4.  The home of Manuel Trascasas and Manuela Marzo was situated on Calle Oliveras.  You will find that street just below the #1.

While Steven and I walked through the many winding and interesting streets in Toro, we remember the Calle Doctor Oliveras well.  It was situated near the juzgado  where we met with the registrar -- and who sent the documents to me to find when I returned from our journey in Spain.
